THE PHESBYTEBIANS.
The General Assembly in Atlanta, has
been discussing the question of fraternity
between the Presbyterians of the North
and South during the greater pint of the
week. The debate was quite warm, but
finally a resolution was passed, with only
three dissenting voices, establishing frater
nal relations between these two great bod
ies of Christians. The General Assembly
of the Northern Church is in session at
Springfield, 111., ami this action was tele
graphed that body, which was received
with demonstrations of applause. The es
tablishing of fraternal relations does not
mean organic union, but it may possibly
lead to it.

Atlanta, May 24th, 1882.
Dear Chronicle :
A silence of two weeks seems a long time
to me, and yet, when I have read your res
cent papers, I do not see where I could
have added anything to the interest of your
columns.
I left here on the Bth inst., with my
“better half,” to be in Baltimore on the9th
at 9:30, a. in. We bad four accidents on
the way, none of which did any harm to
life or limb, but we escaped in one instance
almost miraculously. The tender was off
the track for nearly half a mile, and was
discovered by the engineer oh a long trestle,
while the train was going at the rate of 37
miles an hour. He feared to stop, and in
creased his speed, until the trestle was
passed; and, without damage, we sat down
in an old field for nine hours, awaiting re
pairs. By the accidents we were thrown
out of time —and from Monday morning
until Tuesday night at 10 o’clock, we had
no opportunity of eating anything except
a small lunch, which the forethought of my
wife had provided. We reached Baltimore
fourteen hours behind time, worn out, but
safe at least. I felt at Lula that I would
like to take tiie road to Athens, but had to
comfort myself with a cup of coffee.
The scenery along the Charlotte Air Line
is varied and superb. I think the Tugalo
Valley is one ot the most beautiful sections
I have ever seen. While the train rushes
around rather short and dangerous curves,
along the spurs of mountains from Mount
Airy to the Tugalo, below you lie rich and
beautiful valleys, just budding into the
fresh loveliness of Spring. At one point
the taste of a workman perhaps had im
prisoned a little mountain stream as it
rushed down the sides beneath the track
which almost seemed hung in air, and
with a few joints of cane perhaps made a
fountain which sent its sparkling waters
in showers of glittering drops and spray
high into the air. In South Carolina, though
you realize you are at a considerable height,
the lands are level and beautiful. The
scenery along the whole route of the Rich
mond & Danville and Virginia Midland, is
changeable and very attractive. I noticed
through the Slates a vast breadth of land
sowed in wheat and oats, and all looking
beautifully, from the waving grain of
Georgia to the wheat in the boot, and even
smaller of the wide fields of Virginia.
We spent ten days in Baltimore, most de
lightfully, with charming people from 36
States. Many of the gentlemen brought
their wives and daughters, and the scene at
the hotel was one of gaiety and loveliness.
It seemed to me that an effort had been
made to select the most agreeable people to
be found in the States to represent the Or
der at the Supreme Lodge of K. of H.—
From far off Minnesota, came a couple who
were charming enough to be from Athens.
Nebraska sent a couple whom I should be
glad to have for my closest neighbors. And
Georgia? Well, “I” was there to “illus
trate” her, and my wife was there to look
after me. Maj. Roswell, of Barnesville, had
three charming ladies with him. Every
possible means of increasing our happiness
was thought of and used by the people of
Baltimore. Though the session was a long
one, only regrets were expressed that the
time for separation bad come. We (my
wife and sell) were the recipients of more
than ordinary courtesies from Mr. and Mr ,
Wyatt Owen—the latter of whom was Miss
Nevitt, of Athens. We were deeply grate
ful for their unremitting kindness and
thoughtful courtesies to us during our stay.
But I am gossiping along about matters
of which my heart is full, but which may
not interest your readers. They must par
don me and “ skip it.” I would like to fin
ish my already long letter on this line, but
perhaps ought not. The next session of
tbe Supremo Lodge will be at Galveston,
and my wife thinks it is such a long dis
. tjuice from borne, she will be obliged to go
with lue. I appreciate her considerateucss.
The letter of Mr. Stephens of yesterday
was a bomb in the camp of the " Colonels”
and “ coalitionists." The thing seems bard
for them to digest, and 1 am afraid I’ete
Lawshe and Charlie Willingham will be
come confirmed dyspeptics. I wish I could
write a few of the humorous things 1 have
heard of it, but must have some considera
tion for your readers.
This last trip closes my traveling duties
for the year, and I belong to the " stay at
homes" for the summer.
Youis, faithfully, Stat.

under Dr Lowery’s leadership is excellent.
Under the present officers of the N. H S.

Fort Lamar, May 22.—Last week fair—
farmers made good use of it. Some have
commenced cutting fall oats.
Mr R G Williams took 83 lbs. of the ni
cest honey from 8 bee-gums last Saturday
night. You ought to have been there.
Mr. Speer’s recent speeches in the House
together with the too violent opposition
of some newspapers, is making that gen
tleman some new friends in this country.
Cotton has been dying on account of the
cold snap. Corn is looking fine.
Tw o cases of fever reported. Grass is
growing finely. Farmers are well up with
their work. In a few days they will be

knocked down and robbed at Woodville...
A good deal of grain will be cut this week.
Several bee-gums have been robbed this
season, and the yield of honey has been ti- t
only abundant, but very fine.... Mrs. Allen
is able to go visiting.... Mr. Flatau still
buys and sells cattle.... Mrs. P. M. Stevens
has been very successful with chickens this
Spring. Two weeks ago she had a number,
frying size, and now lias over two hundred
young ones.... I beard an old gentleman
and quite a successful farmer, say that tin
lice or insects on the wheat would not in-
jure it, for the best crop that he ever made
had apparently to him millions on it ...
Pitching is the fashion now, marbles
and base ball are out of fashion.... Hoops
for ladies are now worn.... Merchants,
bring out your old stock, as you now have
a chance to sellout at a profit.... From
present indications, there will be a tremend
ous scramble for legislative honors in this
county. I take very little part in politics.
All that I have to say is, that all good men
ought to vote as they pray. How car»a man
pray to God and ask Him to bless and
prosper us as a people, that we may have
good government, and then vote for a
drunkard, or a grossly immoral man ? Let
man show his faith by his works, and vote
as he prays. Samoth.

thriving and farmers are hopeful. E.

LIVER TONIC
Certain Cure for Torpid Liver
and Constipated Bowels.
This medicine is purely vegetable. It has
nothing in its composition that can possibly in
jure the most delicate. Its taste is not unplea
sant, does not nauseate or gripe, and yet it acts
on the Liver and Bowels just as effectually as
Ca omel or any of the preparations of Mercury,
without injuring the constitution or debilita
ting the system. Many people suffer with Tor
pid Liver and Constipated Bowels, and require
something to stimulate these organs. From
some peculiarity of the constitution they can
not take Calomel or Blue Mass. To such the
LIVER TONIC will be invaluable. It does not
produce large, watery actions, but acts mildly,
producing no depression. But we ask you to
read a lew of the certificates ; we have enough
of these to fill a book, but give only a few. We
fiublish no certificate except from the most re
iabie parties, who would not give a certificate
unless they KNEW the medicine to be as they
represent ft.
Dr. E. S. Lyndon—Dear Sib : I can never
find words to express my gratitude to you for
the incalculable benefit I have derived from the
use of “Smith’s Liver Tonic.” For two years
I suffered with Liver disease in the worst form,
and never had any relief, until the first of last
November, when I procured a bottle of the Liv
er Tonic. Since then I have used only two and
a half bottles, and am entirely well. 1 have
not felt a symptom of the disease since taking
the first dose. I had previously tried several
physicians and many other remedies, and all
failed to afiect me beneficially.
Respectfully, E. ELLEN PATMAN.

Extract from a Letter of Rev. Dr.
Lovick Pierce :
Sparta, Ga., April 28,1879.
Dear Sir . I have found your Liver Tonic to
be more effectual than anything I have ever
used in relief of habitual constipation. It is
the best of these Liver Regulators.
Yours, L. PIERCE.
